Inside me is a gap where love once dwelt
Immense and silent ,swallowing all my hopes
A sorrow unacquainted aaks for help
To direct me how to live, not merely cope.
I feel that gripping hand upon my heart
A sorrow in the belly’s pit beside
As he died my anguish made its start
Its heavy desperation pierced my side
While he lived I dwelled inside his shade
Protected and much loved I did not know
That every tree must fall into its glade
Destroying those who live there with its blows
Unprotected from the intense sun
I’ll burn to ash and join my loved one
How my heart sings
